I’m finally getting started on a NaKniSweMo project for this year. I’m a little behind, but the yarn only arrived yesterday, so that was a bit of a hindrance. I got to swatch ahead of time and that helped. I’m making the Rocky Coast Cardigan by...

While waiting for my NaKniSweMo yarn to arrive, I had to cast on a couple of things to quell my knitting needs. I finished the Garter Yoke Baby Cardi. It was a quick knit that I didn’t have to think about much. It’s still a bit big for Z right now, so...

I really really really want to start NaKniSweMo, but alas, the gorgeous shade of Socks that Rock yarn has not arrived on my doorstep. I ordered it on the 23rd of October, thinking there would be plenty of time, but I was wrong. They do say on their site that orders...

My Socktober project is finished! I made Tern socks by Pam Allen. I changed the heel and did not increase to do an additional repeat on the sides of the socks, but I’m just going to be cool with that now. Knitting challenge deadlines are deadlines. I used Blue...

Today is the 6th anniversary of my blog! I can’t believe how much has changed in the past year or two, and I feel like a quite different person from when I started this blog. I think all of your body cells regenerate every 7 years or so, so next year at this...

My second Featherweight has been done for about a week. I did not block this (gasp!) because it looked ok when I finished it and I wanted to wear it immediately. I think in parenthood you learn to compromise some perfectionist notions. For example, it doesn’t...

The Bell Flower Boogie socks for my aunt are finished! Today is her birthday and she has received them in the mail already, so I can freely post about the finished project. Happy Birthday to my Aunt Susi! I used some Regia Silk and followed most of the instructions...

…I mean SOCKTOBER! Yikes! How could I almost forget about my favorite knitting holiday? What is Socktober? Read more about it here. I’m going to be playing with this: It’s Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock in mediumweight. The colorway is KMFBLA....

Lace knitters out there know this already, but it feels like sweet sweet victory when you take that rumpled and wrinkled mess of yarn you’ve been working on and stretch it out with blocking. In my case I can just stick a foot in it. These socks are Bell Flower...
